Let's see how much you've learned...

In honor of Canada's 143rd birthday, and in order to see how much you've learned about your neighbor-up-north over the last two years, take the following quiz. Answers are found at the end.

1) What is the capital of Canada?
2) Which province has French, rather than English, as its main language?
3) What are the two national sports of Canada? Hint: One is a winter sport and one is a summer sport.
4) What do you call the political leader of Canada?
5) Where can you find the Maritime Islands? Name them for extra points!
6) What is poutine?
7) Name the highway that crosses the country of Canada from west to east. If you can't name the highway, guess the number of the highway.
8) How many provinces are there in Canada?
9) What percentage of the Canadian population lives in Ontario?
10) To which one of these stores would you go to buy home improvement supplies: a. Canadian Tire b. The Brick c. Tim Horton's

Give yourself a point for each question that you got correct.

Answers:
1) Ottawa, Ontario
2) Quebec
3) Hockey and Lacrosse
4) Prime Minister (Stephen Harper is his name!)
5) The East Coast. Take an extra point if you named any of the four: Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, PEI, and New Brunswick.
6) We like to joke that it's a heart attack in a bowl, but what constitutes poutine is a bowl of fresh french fries and cheese curds (not melted!) with gravy poured on top. Absolutely delicious.
7) The Trans-Canadian Highway, aka Highway 1.
8) Ten. If you said 13, you were close. Three of those you were thinking of are actually territories.
9) More than one-third.
10) The answer is a. Canadian Tire.
11) No. Please don't ever tell me if you said yes.

Count your points. If you got at least one point, be proud of yourself. You know more about Canada than Canadians think you do!
